a philosophy teacher @ NKU called Bob Trundle, who taught way over peoples heads & then tested them w/ r****d multiple choice questions. he cared so much @ philosophy that he would like almost cry during lectures sometimes or maybe his eyes would get real red while he beat erasers on the blackboard. it was awesome, no one was scared, it wasnt threatening. he was just getting all tore up over, like, Thales of ancient greece or something. to this day i remember a lecture he gave @ Plato because i felt like he was "killing me softly with the song." this guy still teaches too.

Hmmmmmmm.....recently I have been inspired by the wonderfully talented Ms. Zooey Deschanel who sings and acts also. I had heard really good things about her but only recently got into her music and movies which are both fantastic. (Sans the awful Yes Man she was in last year!!) She's in an indie duo called She & Him and i recommend it to absolutely everyone. If YOU'RE reading this, at any time, day or night, download or buy the record ...it's fantastic.

Anthony deMello changed my life. I read an article he had published in a magazine in 1976. He talked about an ocean fish urgently swimming around asking all the other fish if they could point him in the direction of the ocean.He had heard so much about it and he really wanted to find it. The article said so much more but something about this little parable broke through to me. For the first time in my life I vaguely sensed that i had spent all this time, years, searching for God ,looking for a life.Suddenly I was that little fish. It dawned on me gradually that the search was off . God was what i'd been swimming around in all the time! Now I could focus on something i could not have dreamt of. That I was in God as intimately as that little fish was in the ocean.For me that puts Tony deMello top of my list !
